Edco PC642 Series
Zone/Loop/Data
The■Edco■PC642■Series■surge■protective■device,■(SPD)■is■a■two-pair■(four■wire)■module■
implementing■ three-stage■ hybrid■ technology.■ This■ SPD■ addresses■ over-voltage■
transients■ with■ gas■ tubes■ and■ silicon■ avalanche■ components.■ In■ addition,■ sneak■
and■ fault■ currents■ are■ mitigated■ with■ resettable■ fuses■ (PTCs).■ The■ PTCs■ increase■
resistance■ several■orders■ of■ magnitude■when■over-currents■ exceed■ safe■levels.■ A■
normal■state■resumes■when■over-currents■are■removed.■The■ability■to■self-restore■in■
this■manner■significantly■increases■suppressor■performance■and■survivability.
The■Edco■PC642■card■edge■is■gold-plated,■double■sided■and■is■designed■to■mate■with■
the■ Edco■PCB1B-WKEY■ gold-plated■female■terminal■ connector■ (sold■ separately).■
When■ snapped■ together,■ the■ data■ circuits■ “pass■ thru”■ the■ protector■ in■ a■ serial■
fashion■from■the■four■“Field■Side”■terminals■to■the■four■“Electronics■Side”■terminals.■
